The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

Full resolution, no.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

The same thing on a merchant onboarding.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

We have a merchant onboarding agent that allows us to board over 2,000 to 3,000 merchants a month.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

Same stuff, 100% handle rate, over 20% improvement in conversion.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

We're launching our own transformer later this year.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

So a number of these things that I think when you see it,

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

uh, we've always, you know, we've always benchmarked ourselves against the best.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

And there are a number of things we've done that I think are now putting us in that direction.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

I mean, there's a reason we run the company in English, which is we always want a stallion, even though we're now in Colombia.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

It's very counterintuitive that you run a company in Colombian English, but it is not once you think about where the world class mark is.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

So I think we're very grateful and it's pretty humbling to be in such a company.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

But it's also just, I think, the recognition of four or five years of incredible investments panning out.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

So I would say we actually started seven years ago when we made two foundational decisions that to this day help us.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

The first one was we built a company on a monorepo as opposed to microservices.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

Monorepos today are all the rage.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

Anthropix built on a monorepo.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

Google obviously famously is a monorepo company.

The a16z Show

But when we started the company, microservices was where it was at.

The a16z Show
The Fintech Playbook for Latin America

I hired the best CTO in the business.

The a16z Show

I'd be like, you know, now I can tell you exactly why.
